Ayre QB-9 upgrade

Does anyone know if Ayre is upgrading non-original owner QB-9s? Or are they limiting upgrades to original owners only. Thanks.

They did 2 for me that I bought 2nd hand. In fact, I had the seller ship them directly in order to save on re-shipping. Also, it doesn't matter which model. They essentially replace the entire innards, so the price is the same. B

That being said, Ayre is one of the best companies out there. They repaired my MX-R's after a capacitor blew up. The cost was minimal, considering that they had to check both monoblocks in order to make sure they were up to spec. Bob
